I’ll be traveling down to London tomorrow for DevWeek 2009, where I’m going to do a workshop on F# on Monday and a few sessions on C# and F# on Thursday. Are you going to DevWeek? Are you going to be in London over the next few days? If you want to meet up, just let me know and I’m sure we can work something out! I’ll be twittering while I’m there, so following me on Twitter will be a good way of finding out where I am, if you fancy joining me for a pi …
@keithelder pointed me to a cool site a moment ago: Bad Twitter Friends It shows me something that I’ve been curious about in the past: which of the people I’m following don’t follow me back, and which of the people who are following me am I not following back. I’ve tried to answer that question before and couldn’t find a way to do it — but in contrast to @ldnStreetLife I didn’t start developing a solution :-)
My own “policy” is pretty much that I follow people back who I know personally. Tha …

Gary and I have just published the first episode of our new podcast, called Sod This. I’m not going to go into lots of details on it here, because it’s all available on the site itself: Sod This - Brain Burps for the Tech Savvy
I hope you enjoy it!
For once, I’m thinking of this before I go to a conference… every time, attendees ask me whether the slides will be available somewhere, and every time I say yes, the organizers are going to put them somewhere, but I don’t know where or when and I’ll try to remember making them available myself. Usually I do remember, but sometimes I’m sure I don’t… So, here you are. These are the two presentations I’m going to do at Basta Italia on Tuesday.
Here’s the abstract I submitted for a birds-of-a-feather session at TechEd US:
Benefits of Functional Programming ideas in the context of parallelization efforts
_Parallelization is an important topic these days and Microsoft are doing a lot to make it easier. Without looking at the agenda, it seems safe to say that TechEd will be full of content around Parallel Extensions, the many-core shift and related issues. .NET Parallel Extensions are valuable and important, but there is still one …
Recently I was speaking at Basta Spring 2009 in Darmstadt in Germany. A very nice event — lots of interesting content, people and beer :-) As promised, here are the slides and samples I used in my sessions and my workshop. Some of the slides are in German, just in case you were thinking of grabbing them although you were not at Basta :-)
I’ll be at Basta! Italia in Rome next week, speaking about C# as well as LINQ extensibility. I’ve never been to Rome, and the conference takes place for the first time as well, so we’ll all have to see how that goes! Is anybody going to be there? Well, I know some people are going to be there, but anybody who reads my blog?
Barry Dorrans is writing a book! Very cool - I thought I’d help him out a bit and make some minor modifications to the cover he’s currently using.
What do you think? Is it perhaps a bit too subtle? Ah well, just an idea. Let me know what you think (or Barry, of course)!
